eCommerce consulting services for platform decisions

eCommerce and Magento consulting: platform selection, replatforming, Adobe Commerce license reviews and headless decisions. First conversation free.

Overview

Our eCommerce and Magento consulting services help merchants decide what to run their store on and what to build next: platform selection, replatforming, Adobe Commerce license reviews, headless and omnichannel questions, and the systems around the store. It's for US retailers and manufacturers facing a replatform, a license renewal or a stalled roadmap. We'll say so when Magento isn't the right answer. Larger scopes start with paid discovery, from $5,000.

What we do

What you get

Platform selection

What to run the store on for the next several years, with the cost of each option side by side.

Adobe Commerce license review

What you pay for against what you use, and what Magento Open Source would cover instead.

Headless and composable

Whether a separate frontend pays for itself in your case, or just adds a second system to run.

DTC and omnichannel

Selling direct alongside retail and marketplaces, and keeping stock and orders in step across them.

The tech stack

The ERP, PIM, CRM, search and payments around your store, and how they should connect.

How we work

How it works

Plain advice on platforms, roadmaps and spend, from a team that builds and runs Magento stores every day. We'll give you the cost of each option, tell you what we'd do, and tell you when the answer isn't Magento.

The first conversation is free. Larger scopes start with paid discovery, from $5,000.

Frequently asked questions

How much does eCommerce consulting cost?

The first conversation is free. For larger scopes, paid discovery starts at $5,000.

What are the best eCommerce platforms for manufacturers with custom pricing needs?

It depends on how your buyers order and where your prices live. Magento and Adobe Commerce handle customer-specific pricing, company accounts and quotes, and ISKRA's B2B package includes them. We'll compare the options against your own requirements.

Who provides eCommerce platform consulting services?

Agencies that build on more than one platform, independent consultants and the platform vendors themselves. We build mostly on Magento and Adobe Commerce, and we'll tell you when another platform is a better fit.

What is the ROI of moving to headless commerce?

It depends on what you'd gain from a separate frontend against the cost of building and running two systems. We'll work it through with your numbers.

Should we stay on Magento or move to Shopify Plus?

It depends on your catalog, your integrations and how much you customize. We'll compare the cost of each over a few years. If Shopify Plus is the better fit, we can build it.

How long does a platform selection take?

Usually two to four weeks. We start with the free assessment, then spend the time on your requirements, your integrations and what the store costs you today. We finish with a recommendation: which platform, its projected total cost of ownership over three years, and what the move involves. If the honest answer is to stay where you are, the recommendation says so.

Not sure where to start?
The first assessment is free.

Tell us what's going on with your store. We'll look at it and tell you what's broken, what's at risk and what it will cost to fix, before you commit to anything.
